Overview :
SoHo (south of Houston--pronounced How-ston) is an artists' enclave turned luxury neighborhood. The main drag, Broadway, can feel like... more » an outdoor mall, but if you poke into small side streets, you can find galleries and boutiques.

SoHo features many buildings made of cast iron with huge windows and high ceilings. less «

Tips:
Cobblestones can wreak havoc on heels, so dress accordingly.

If you need a rest stop, try Bloomingdale's (504 Broadway) or the Apple ... more »Store (103 Prince St.). less «

The Drawing Center is a small museum on a street with a couple of other galleries you can pop into. The museum usually has two exhibits of drawings and offers free gallery tours and family art workshops.

Vespa SoHo sells tons of scooters in its huge showroom, though Soho's cobblestone streets are not suited for scooters. Ogle the brightly colored Vespas, get cool riding gloves and sunglasses, and consider how much money you'd save in gas driving a Vespa.

The British chain Topshop, which opened its only U.S. location in spring 2009, has trendy fashion for men (TopMan) and women's clothes and accessories.

It's like a more expensive Forever 21 or H&M--but since there's only one store, not everyone has the same clothes.

Pearl River Mart, right across the street from Topshop, has a huge selection of arts and crafts materials, inexpensive toys and satin slippers. Everything is made in China, so you can find tea, bags of rice, kites and candy, all dirt cheap. The old Chinatown store upgraded for SoHo and even has a waterfall.
